Data from a Bayer study in children less than 2 years of age (infants) was presented at the 2014 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) scientific assembly and annual meeting. The primary endpoint of the study was the evaluation of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Gadavist (gadobutrol) injection in plasma at the standard dose of 0.1 mmol/kg body weight. Safety was a secondary endpoint and the study also included a qualitative assessment of efficacy.
A new study on the use of hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (HF-WBI) for early-stage breast cancer patients found HF-WBI increased 17.4 percent from 2004 to 2011. Patients are also more likely to receive HF-WBI compared to conventionally fractionated whole-breast irradiation (CF-WBI) when they are treated at an academic center or live ?50 miles away from a cancer center. The study was published in the Dec. 1, 2014, issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (Red Journal), the official scientific journal of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO).
